Mathematics
1 answer:
vodomira [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x=3 and x=-1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2-7x=15

subtract 15 from each side:

4x^2-7x-15=0

factor  (trying different numbers that the sum is 7 and the quotient is 15)

(2x-6 )(2x+2.5 )=0

2x-6=0 add 6 to each side

2x=6

x=3

2x+2.5=0   subtract 2.5 from each side

2x=-2.5

x=-1.25

Kevin wants to buy an area rug for his living room. He would like the area rug to be no smaller that 48 square feet and no bigge
mariarad [96]

Answer:

8-10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the carpet is two more than the width, the width can be expressed as x and the length can be expressed as x+2. This means that the area(x^2+2x) must be greater than 48 but no less than 80.

Now we can solve for both the maximum and minimum cases:

x^2+2x=48, x^2+2x-48=0, now we can factor, (x+8)(x-6)=0, and now we can use the Zero Product Property to find x=-8;x=6. Since we cant have negative width, x at least has to be equal to 6.

x^2+2x=80,x^2+2x-80=0, now we can factor, (x+10)(x-8), and now using the Zero Product Property to find x=-10;x=8, and since it must be positive, at most x can equal 8.

Now since the length is two more than the width, x, you add two to both of these values and get a range of 8-10 feet.

James wants to send two gifts by mail. one package weighs 2 3/4 pounds. the other package weighs 1 3/4 pounds. what is the total
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

4.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert them both to improper equations.

2 3/4 = 11/4

1 3/4 = 7/4

Then add.

11/4 + 7/4 = 18/4

Then simplify.

18/4 = 4 2/4 = 4.5
